Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Overdrive Pedal and Revival Footswitch Bundle

Vintage-style Amp Overdrive Pedal with Revival Footswitch, Dual Rectifier Modes, Sag/Ghosting Controls, and Reamp EQ

The Ultimate RevivalDRIVE Bundle

The world’s first “Ghosting Overdrive,” Origin Effects’ RevivalDRIVE captures the most sought-after overdrive tones from the world’s most iconic vintage amplifiers. From Fullerton-inspired American dirt to the screaming sound of a pushed British stack, the RevivalDRIVE replicates the feel, sound, and even the circuit topology of a genuine tube amplifier. The 2-channel design gives you access to warm, compressed tube-style sag (Valve Rectifier Channel) and the punchier snap of a tube amp with a solid-state rectifier (Silicion Rectifier). Even Sweetwater’s die-hard vintage amp aficionados have been impressed by the RevivalDRIVE’s amp-like realism, right down to the elusive harmonic “ghosting” that occurs when an amp is pushed into power amp distortion. Wrap it all up with an immense control section — including bright cap options, preamp voices, a mid boost, Re-Amp EQ, and a complete section of external trim pots — and it’s no hyperbole to claim the Origin Effects’ RevivalDRIVE is one of the most comprehensive overdrive pedals on the planet.

Take your tone across the pond

Extensive but intuitive, the RevivalDRIVE’s mammoth control section gives you unprecedented power in your tonal pursuits. This pedal’s two channels — Valve and Silicon — pair with the RevivalDRIVE’s class-A preamp section to perfectly replicate the most iconic amp tones from America and the U.K.’s most storied non-master-volume tube amplifiers. What do the channels sound like? The Silicon side sports a tight, firm response that beautifully mimics the sound of a tube amp with a solid-state rectifier. In comparison, the RevivalDRIVE’s Valve side supplies a much wilder, looser feel with the rich and compressed vibe inherent to classic valve-rectified amplifiers. Each channel features an identical control section, including straightforward controls such as a Volume knob (essentially gain, as this pedal replicates non-master-volume amp tones), a standard Output knob, a Blend knob, and a Lows control that shapes your overdrive voice form wild and wooly to trim and tight.

Elusive ghost notes and vintage-style sag

What really sets the RevivalDRIVE’s two channels apart from the pack are the two knobs you’re not likely to find on any other overdrive pedal: More/Pres and Ghost. More/Pres is a 2-part control that drastically changes in function depending on where you are on the knob’s sweep. Turned clockwise, this control functions like a classic presence function on a tube amp, granting you enhanced control over your top-end response. Turned counterclockwise, the More/Pres control begins to alter the amount of negative feedback in your signal, changing the RevivalDRIVE’s sonic character from classic American tweed to full-force British firepower with the slightest brush of a knob. Finally, the Ghost control takes full advantage of the RevivalDRIVE’s split rectifier personalities, mimicking the mains-hum-induced harmonic “ghost notes” and supple sag that occurs when pushing a power amp to its limits.

Revival Footswitch for enhanced control

Origin Effects’ Revival Footswitch is simply a must-have for guitarists who want to harness the RevivalDIVE’s full potential, providing you with two additional footswitchable functions:

Mid Engage: Stomping on this switch supercharges your mids, ensuring your leads and rhythms remain front and center in even the densest mixes and arrangements.
Blend Override: This control completely bypasses the RevivalDRIVE’s blend function, removing your dry signal entirely for pure overdriven ferocity.

Origin Effects: superior pedals for discerning tone chasers

Simon Keats, Origin Effects’ founder and lead designer, has an outstanding résumé, working alongside numerous venerated pro audio equipment manufacturers. As a guitarist, Simon recognized a need for effects pedals that offer a high degree of quality and musicality not always available outside of custom-made devices. Origin Effects was created to answer that need. To ensure the highest quality product possible, every Origin Effects pedal is hand assembled, individually inspected, and manufactured using only premium components. Origin Effects is not your typical pedal company. They’re committed to serving the most discerning players who are on a quest to achieve the best possible tone.
